Moderators kimi Posted April 14, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2020 I couldn't think of a better place to host this subject. I am very passionate about Africa and African History and my passion has simply deepened over the years. By African, I also refer to those commonly referred to as Blacks and also those who have African as a prefix when filling the ethnicity section. I would use this space to share some content in the hope that it will evoke a strong sense of heritage. By and large, there is an identity crisis in the continent (or among Blacks in general) -one which we can ourselves correct if we know our history and by so doing discover our collective strength.

Moderators kimi Posted April 15, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2020 So, here's the first of many... I reckon that anyone who comes to this section is a reader and that naturally takes away the need to summarize literature etc... Enjoy! This is a good place to start as it gives a lot of insight into why African history only began to take flight much later rather than earlier. https://trafo.hypotheses.org/11518 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSafire Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I am writing a paper on decolonization and this came in handy. Did anyone ever read this book? What resonated with you while reading? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skipped through and would find time to read again Yes! The first reaction is anger, but a deeper look and reflection reveals a much troubling past where Africa sold itself. Decolonization as a concept question the epistemology of race and racism. To talk about colonialism, as Africans we need to be bold to admit our dark history as well.
